Diet, exercise, calorie deficit, intermittent fasting… we’ve heard it all. Yet, nothing seems to get rid of that stubborn body fat despite how hard you go at the gym.
This is where CoolSculpting comes in. Advances in fat removal technology have meant that stubborn fat can be removed from anywhere on the body without the need for surgery, anaesthetic, scars or long downtimes. CoolSculpting – also known as fat freezing – offers a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, with great results.
Developed at Harvard University, CoolSculpting is an FDA- and TGA-approved procedure that is proven to reduce stubborn pockets of fat, even fat that is resistant to exercise or genetically prone. The best part of CoolSculpting is that the fat cell reduction is permanent.
CoolSculpting uses a patented process called cryolipolysis to freeze your fat cells to minus-11 degrees. This temperature is not cold enough to damage nerves, blood vessels or the skin, but enough to permanently damage your fat cells.
These damaged fat cells are recognised by your body’s immune system and are cleared from the treated area over the course of the next 4-12 weeks.
Once gone, these fat cells will never come back. This means the treated area will never be able to store the same amount of fat as previously, even if you put on weight.
Fat freezing with CoolSculpting can target areas such as:
- Abdomen: a problem area for many people
- Flanks: also known as love handles and notoriously stubborn to get rid of
- Upper arms
- Thighs
- Banana roll (underneath your butt cheeks)
- Under chin: this can be a particularly stubborn area to treat with diet and exercise alone
- Bra fat: excess fat above or below the bra strap
- Neck fat: also known as buffalo hump
More than six million CoolSculpting procedures have been performed worldwide with proven results and unparalleled safety data.
